Winchester Model 70 Featherweight | 6.8 Western | 24 in | 535200299

The Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in 6.8 Western is a traditional bolt-action sporting rifle with modern internal features. It pairs a free-floating, button-rifled 24-inch barrel and a satin walnut stock with classic Featherweight cut checkering for a balance of handling and accuracy. The action uses controlled-round feed with a claw extractor and the M.O.A. Trigger System for a precise, consistent break. A Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15×44 (under $1000) is a good optic choice to cover practical hunting and precision work with this rifle.

Applications: medium-to-long-range hunting and precision target or sight-in work.
